Have you added any new hardware recently ? ?
Is this a shiny CD that says Microsoft all over it ? ?
hahaha =). No, unfortunately there were no little aliens to deliver vista to my door, I refused.
Norton 2007 installed and fully updated on Desktop.
Norton 2007 Trial, expired on Laptop. (Laziness)
Desktop: I swapped a Vid Card, RAM and a problematic HDD into an older model computer running an Athlon 64 Mobo. Set the HDD as a slave, but primary drive failed to startup windows, which is when I attempted to reinstall.
Laptop: No new hardware upgrades.
Rundown:
1) First desktop started looping restart at windows logo, still needed information off HDD
2) Swapped RAM, Vid Card, and HDD from First Desktop into Second Desktop.
3) Second Desktop encountered an HDD Failure
4) Attempted to reinstall windows on Second Computer, encountered an error stating windows could not install because of a HDD Fault.
5) Unrelated laptop to former situation encountered same First desktop had, looping restart at windows logo.
